I would loooooove to see this on Princess Marie! She deserves another tiara. Come on Joachim, she gave you a beautiful daughter, get it for her!!!

Or if he's not interested, maybe this could be salvaged for Estelle...

Unfortunately I have to say that there is no chance, that it will end up on Marie. If the Joachim were interested in buying it, he would have done so privately, but not at auction. Sigh, we'll have to make do with the new Flora Danica tiara for Marie.

The Flora Danica tiara is for her to wear, as a loan. I once read that it was meant for "private events". So it's unlikely that she will wear it at state visits. My guess is that we will see it mainly at birthday galas.

Not one of my favorites but this tiara is very beautiful. It's timeless, elegant, delicate, it has a great design and it's a great size in my opinion. Overall, I think it's a lovely and beautiful tiara.

A belated comment:
The Kokoshnik style tiara from the estate of Countess Ruth was not sold according to the auctioneers' website; it didn't reach the reserve price! I read somewhere that it's not considered a top quality tiara, maybe that has something to do with it?
Maybe we should also make a mental note of the fact that none of the jewellery of the late Princess Viggo - as the kokoshnik was - found its way into the main line RF.

I would also like to see a second tiara for Princess Marie, but at least she's lucky that her floral tiara didn't end up on the head of the former Princess Alexandra! The one Alexandra got - the Alexandrine drop diamond tiara - has a dated look about it IMO. Marie is far better off with the floral!
